(This is an updated post from February of 2013. I wanted to pass along the wealth of knowledge to other folks who are awesome, as well!)

I was truly honored to be named one of the Top 5 Pinners for Prepping by Simply Preparing!

I can’t say it was all me, because the entire prepping, homesteading, survival and outdoor communities have put out such great information for us to gather! I’m still in my gather as much information phase as I can between websites and other pinners so that I can learn all I can about preparing my family for whatever emergency rocks our boat, and Pinterest is my ‘bookmark’ site of choice because I’m so visual that way.

Thanks, again, Simply Preparing! I’m truly honored and totally gobsmacked!

If you aren’t already following the folks on Simply Preparing’s list, I do suggest you do so now! And to pass along some tips for you of others who are awesome on Pinterest in the world of preparedness,  here are a few of my suggestions:

CWigg

Especially in the homesteading and wild game areas, this pinner has got a really great collection of pins from all over the place to help you track down what to do with the game you just shot, or the animals you want on your homestead.

Survival for Blondes

Survival for Blondes has a great Pin board that covers SO many topics of preparedness, information, and breaks it all down for you so you can be as specific as you want.

Connie Smith

Mrs. Smith has one of those boards that covers just about everything in life you might want to know. Being Preparedness-minded, though, she has a great selection of topics to help you prepare your family.

Christi Williams

Here’s another life Pinner – by that I mean someone who has a great selection of all things in life, but she also has a great Provident Living / Preparedness reference library going on Pinterest.  You’ll find lots of information there!

Big River Trading Co.

This is a site from Australia who has a ton of great pins for camping and outdoors. Because they are in Australia, they give a different spin on life in the outdoors that’s great to learn from. Because our family is getting ready for a massive camping undertaking – actually doing it outside of our living room, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at their pins to learn all I can.

There are so many wonderful people out there sharing what they find. Pinterest is a great resource board of finding things in one place to start your search before heading out to the great WWW. For some things, I actually go to Pinterest to research before I hit up Google!
